If you have a mould problem who do you call?

A client of ours had a mould problem. It had been long term and getting worse. They realised that they had a problem when they visited friends for a couple of weeks and their health problems disappeared. When they returned home their symptoms immediately came back. Symptoms of nasal congestion, sinus blockage and feeling unwell.

Discussions with the Real Estate Agent and landlord did not end in agreement and they ended up at NCAT.

What experts did each party call?

Other "mould expert" - you can probably guess this well known name for a mould remediation plan

What did NCAT say?

Of 3 expert reports submitted the SAN-AIR report was the only expert report accepted by(NCAT)as the other 2 experts had disclaimer clauses that contained wording like:

" ...this report provides first-round advice that does not meet evidentiary standards required by Expert Witness Codes of Conduct. It is therefore not suitable for litigation purposes."

"...this report and all its contents is prepared for scoping works ... may not necessarily be suitable for presentation in litigation and other Court or Tribunal actions.."

TheTribunal only accepted the SAN-AIR reportas the other two reports by their own written admissions were not acceptable.

Before proceeding with any home inspections for mould make sure to see a sample report from the provider andreview all the Disclaimer and Conditions clausesto ensure the report is acceptable in litigation.

SAN-AIR stands by its Home Health Inspection reports.
